Bass, Trance | SHMUCK THE LOYAL Gets Interesting On “Not Alone”
Posted by VMan on April 20, 2018
SHMUCK THE LOYAL is an attention grabbing name in itself, so I was intially drawn in by just that but when clicked play on the new single “Not Alone” I was stoked on finding a new gem. Honestly, the whole song is fire, but one of my favorite parts is the outro. It has a very different vibe than the rest of the song, a lot more chilled and calm, and I want to hear that created into it’s own song tbh. That said “Not Alone” has an old school upbeat energy that will make your weekend right! Stream “Not Alone” above now by SHMUCK THE LOYAL.

On his new single “Slowmotion”, SUBMERSIVE balances intense trance vibes with a perfect complement of haunting, stripped down vocals from Cavale. Embracing the contrast between Cavale’s vocal range and his churning, synth-based production, SUBMERSIVE demonstrates the raw power of melding modern trance production with talented vocalists.

Posted by VMan on April 24, 2017
2 months after releasing trance-influenced tracks “Ready” and “The Ritual”, Submersive just dropped yet another track, this time with a completely different vibe from the other 2. If “The Ritual” was cold and heavy, then “Rock Bottom” is the perfect romantic, uplifting and colorful track, fitting for the season we are in. Following the original vocal track is a heavy trance “Aphotic” mix. With 200k Soundcloud plays over and done with, this up and coming LA-based artist is the name to know.
Submersive picked up his first drums sticks at the age of 10, he probably did not know they would change his life forever. That was the beginning of the music career, leading to a DJ event at age 13 and moments of achievement thereafter. More recently, he has been focusing on trance, “the goal of my music is to give people a transcendent experience in a musical environment. Trance is the continuation of what the earliest humans discovered: the connection between music and soul, and that’s what I aim to accomplish with every one of my songs.”
